Verizon and NCMEC team up to fight child exploitation
2020年5月22日 - 10:00PM
Verizon announced today a new partnership with the National Center
for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC). In addition to being
a corporate sponsor of NCMEC, Verizon will donate more than $1
million in online advertising on Verizon Media’s internet
properties. The ads will seek the public’s assistance in bringing
missing children home and will begin on May 25 in support of
National Missing Children’s Day. As part of the launch, the Yahoo
and AOL mail sign in pages, which are visited by millions of users
every single day, will feature NCMEC ads exclusively.
The new partnership is the latest chapter in Verizon’s long
history of support for NCMEC. Verizon, including its iconic
internet brands Yahoo and AOL, has been working to make the
internet a safer place for children for more than two decades.
NCMEC has been an essential partner in this work from the very
beginning.
“I am thrilled to announce this important new partnership
between Verizon and the National Center for Missing and Exploited
Children,” said Hans Vestberg, Verizon Chairman and CEO. “As
Verizon builds the networks capable of delivering revolutionary 5G
experiences, we must stay focused on protecting children from new
and existing forms of online harm. NCMEC does heroic work to fight
online child exploitation and to help rescue missing children and
we are proud to support these efforts.”
NCMEC founder John Walsh welcomed Verizon’s donation,
commenting, “We commend Verizon for being a leader on child safety
issues, and are grateful for the financial and in-kind support that
will help advance our mission. This innovative partnership will
allow NCMEC to reach vast new audiences through Verizon’s digital
media assets, and we believe this increased exposure will directly
result in more missing children coming home safely.”
